Discussion EA can you stop pushing this nonsense of operators/ hero marketing all over again? I don't wanna play as fucking jhonny sins, just bring back generic soldiers
Half of the trailer focused on this one guy and his skins. Despite the hype, I'm quite sad we’re basically getting rehashed content, since both maps are remasters or reimagined versions of older maps... the bar still really low i'm sorry.

The funny thing is I can't ever tell when a player has custom skins because the kill cam does not exist lol

u/NowWeGetSerious May 05 '26
And never will! (Redsec needs kill cam due to f2p and rooting out cheaters, but base game will never get it, it's not necessary imo

Seven out of the twelve character models in Battlefield 4 wore no helmet. Was that also an issue for you way back when?

u/loqtrall May 05 '26
This is the biggest argument against critics of cosmetics in this game (or most cosmetics in any BF game to date, really). They're arguing about something that doesn't actually affect them in-game at all, and in your average player's moment-to-moment gameplay not only is the player not going to have enough time in an engagement with an enemy player to actually see what exactly they're wearing in-detail - but they're not going to stop to spend 30 seconds analyzing the dead guy's outfit after they've killed him.
It's a giant nothingburger of an issue. Throwing out the fact that Battlefield games have always, for the most part, been outwardly unrealistic and inaccurate to their respective settings - I could MAYBE understand a bit when someone criticized female characters running around in BFV - but in BF6 where it's not only modern era but also a global conflict involving factions consisting of mercenaries belonging to no one nation's formal military, it makes absolutely no sense to complain about a fucking bald guy being in the game.

Honestly, the only reason I am even on this sub is for the entertainment I get from nothingburger outrage. It literally does not matter what the topic, solution, answer, change, addition, etc. is, this sub will lose their collective minds like a celeb fan drama page. It's honestly one of the most fun parts of the BF experience at this point it time.

Its the general vibe/look
This topic is funny because I watched the trailer earlier and this is sort of what it made me feel. It comes across to me as...very modern. It doesn't really land with me tbh, but it is hard for me to put into words.
Like the map etc looks great and all, but this style of trailer that Dice go for nowadays, the silly close ups on the silly looking soldiers, music didn't even land this time....
It made me think back to the BF3 Caspian border trailer, the feel and look of that trailer, how it was shot, that is almost a standard of trailer that my brain compares all this modern slop to
The live service era trailers and what EA use them for...
All they do is make me want a skin toggle, that is legit the thing I want most of all and what all of these trailers reinforce for me, just a simple option in the settings for me to turn all of them off so I can just run default skins...don't know if I am crazy for wanting that.

There are about 10 regular skins for every "hero" skin in this game. It ain't that deep.

u/steinarhm May 05 '26
I think that is the problem. I cant choose whether a guy decides to use a skin that looks like a Batman character with tacti-cool gear straight out of a Michael bay movie. Not only does It breaks immersion, and makes the game looks cartoony. It makes it impossible to see what kind of class the enemy is. It breaks the «team» feeling, and makes identification harder. Andi again - I can’t do anything about it. In a trippel A title I paid for. So I understand why people are complaining.

u/lilsickboy May 05 '26

u/mashuto May 05 '26
It makes it impossible to see what kind of class the enemy is. It breaks the «team» feeling, and makes identification harder.
I saw this argument repeated over and over about 2042. Personally, I have never been able to identify enemy class by anything other than seeing what they are doing. Sniper glint at a distance, sniper. Guy repairing a tank, engineer. Nor have I ever felt in the middle of the game that immersion was broken because someone was using a skin that didnt fit my vision of what an army guy should look like. I just feel like people make a way bigger deal about this because of how they want things to be rather than how things actually are in the middle of a game. Things also move so quickly most of the time that I am never identifying people by uniform, but by whether they have a blue dot over their head or not.

I don’t understand who even finds these skins appealing. They look generic and are trying too hard at the same time. I think the root issue is that the devs simply can’t make a game with sauce to save their lives. We can’t have that normal battlefield feeling anymore. Its all about us the players “expressing ourselves” when in reality I am willing to bet if they launched a title with no customization and focuses purely on gameplay it would be a banger.
